Introducing a lovely pile of roulette junk
‘In which Charlie warns readers away from AD Associates, gets a lovely mail from a stranger and offers you some tested PROVEN ways to win at roulette’
Hi
I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking about a roulette system from AD Associates.
Rather than answer more of these emails individually, I’ll will instead KARATE CHOP this particular issue to death in just two strikes...
......STRIKE ONE –“Eeeeeeyaa!”
Forget about buying anything linked to AD Associates. They’re the most commonly complained about company on my website. Getting refunds is like extracting a tooth from a rabid dog.
They’re behind Pro Select and a host of other betting systems, including roulette.
....STRIKE TWO – “Heeeeyaaaa!”
Look I don’t mind people buying or selling roulette systems. Many people swear by them. If you’re going to have a flutter anyway, it’s more fun to follow a strategy.
But I’ll give you my personal view. I don’t think it’s possible to put the odds in your favour and consistently beat the casino at roulette.
In know I’m going to get angry emails about this, but for me roulette systems fall into a similar category to astrology. Lots of people believe in it, but I’m not one of them. And I don’t promote ideas in my newsletter unless I’m 100% behind them.
So in my view I’d not only avoid AD Associates, but roulette too, unless you’re already a regular player, or you’ve found something that works for you.
Which brings me to a lovely piece of junk email I once received...
A threat from a complete stranger
The email began with the salutation: "Yo Mate". (Classy.)
The writer then went on to say: "Ok I`ll give you my trick but if you give it someone else I`ll kill you". (Nice touch).
The system goes like this...
"Bet $1 on black if it goes black you win $1 now again bet $1 on black, if it goes red bet $3 on black, if it goes red again bet $8 on black, if red again bet $20 on black, red again bet $52 on black (always multiple your previous lost bet around 2.5) if now is black you win $52 so you have $104 and you bet: $1 + $3 + $8 + $20 + $52 = $84 So you just won $20.
Now when you won you start with $1 on blacks again etc etc. Its always bound to go black eventually (it`s 50 / 50) so that way you eventually always win."
Ok. Righty-oh. But it's hardly a revelation is it?
I'd ignore this mathematically challenged assumption and bin this email and anything like it. The above is known as the 'Martingale' system. It's where you bet by sticking to just one colour all night.
You could have a decent winning streak by always picking, say, red all night. But don't come crying to me when the god of statistics decides to smite you.
This happened in a Monte Carlo casino in 1913. Black came up 28 consecutive times. So if you'd bet on red using the above system, you'd have been right royally shafted.
Another roulette strategy you may hear about is to start the evening with a base of 5 units. If you win, decrease your next stake by one unit. If you lose, increase your next stake by one unit.
Given a reasonable run of wins and losses, this system is said to make a steady profit... over time.
Even if you have a losing run, this staking plan is supposed to reduce your losses.
Please note the words 'should', 'over time' and 'losses'.
A tip from Mr Brown
Last year Derren Brown did a telly programme about roulette. You can also go to the website for the programme and see him debunk the idea of mathematical roulette systems here
Despite all this, the Internet is full of folk selling you the promise that you can beat the casino at games of pure chance.
But it's like someone trying to sell you a secret strategy for winning on Deal or No Deal. Not even Mr Edmunds with his cosmic ordering mumbo-jumbo would go for that kind of idea.
I've looked at a few other roulette products on the market in previous issues of The Biz Opp Jungle.
There's one from Mayfair Racing, which I cover here
One from Jager, which I cover here
And also a system doing the rounds called Roulette Profits from Prime Source Products. It promises to make you around £25 a day from playing online roulette. You get a manual, a cd rom, and a 30 day money back guarantee.
My view is that if you like roulette and would like a system to give you some discipline, that's fine.
But don't fall for the idea you can win consistently enough to turn this into a proper second income. And if you don't already play roulette for fun, definitely don't go down that route.
How to win at roulette
The only other way I've heard of to guarantee winning at roulette is to use "past-posting". This is where you use sleight of hand to place the bet after the ball has landed in the slot.
However, it's not a system, it's a cheat where you win on bets you don't even place.
To see how it works, take a look at this classic clip from The Real Hustle here
However tempting, I'd advise against trying this... unless you want to be ejected from a casino via a 12th floor window.
